New & Improved
Posted by: <@...>
It was the early 1960's and spray deodorant, new to the market, was being
advertised on television about six times a day.
I was still living at home with my parents - saving money for college.
One afternoon, after a hard day of construction and before dinner, I took
a nice hot shower.
After drying off I spotted a new can of that deoderant spray on the
bathroom shelf.
I was happily surprised that my mom had bought some of that new
"convenient to use" deodorant and I sprayed a liberal amount under each
arm.
When I entered the kitchen, where mom was fixing dinner, I thanked her for
getting some new spray deodorant but complained that it was pretty sticky
and I didn't know if I really liked it yet.
Her response still rings in my ears ...
"I didn't buy any spray deodorant, but I did buy some of that new bandage
spray!"
After shaving my arm pits in order to be able to lift my arms, and after
hours of enduring my family's laughter, I was never to forget that
RightGuard and SafeGuard were not the same thing.

BONUS JOKE
Let Out Early
It was still morning when Little Johnny arrived home from school.
Little Johnny's mom inquired, "Why are you home from school so early?"
"Because I was the only one who could answer a question," responded Little
Johnny.
"Oh, really? What was the question?" asked his mom.
"'Who threw the eraser at the principal?'" was Johnny's reply.
